Let's divide 140856 by 87
Our goal is to divide 140856 by 87.

On to step 1:
87 can be fit into 1 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 1.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 1, we get 1.
Include the next digit (4) from the dividend after 1, then repeat: 14 / 87

Going ahead to step 2:
When dividing 14 by 87, we get 0 with a remainder of 14.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we subtract 0 from 14, we get 14.
Take the next digit (0) from the dividend and append it to 14, then repeat: 140 / 87

Advancing to step 3:
When dividing 140 by 87, we get 1 with a remainder of 53.
Put 1 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1.0
If we take 87 away from 140, we end up with 53.
Append the next digit (8) from the dividend to 53 and continue with: 538 / 87

Advancing to step 4:
The number 87 fits into 538 6 times, leaving a remainder of 16.
Write down 6 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 16.0
If we take 522 away from 538, we end up with 16.
Bring next digit (5) of the dividend behind the 16 and repeat the process: 165 / 87

Moving on to step 5:
The number 87 fits into 165 1 times, leaving a remainder of 78.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 161.0
The remainder is 78 after subtracting 87 from 165.
Take the next digit (6) from the dividend and append it to 78, then repeat: 786 / 87

Step 6:
When dividing 786 by 87, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1619.0
Subtract 783 from 786 to get 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

On to step 7:
87 goes into 30 0 times with a remainder of 30.
Put 0 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1619.0
Deduct 0 from 30 and we're left with 30.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 300, and continue the process.

On to step 8:
When dividing 300 by 87, we get 3 with a remainder of 39.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 1619.03
Deduct 261 from 300 and we're left with 39.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 390, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
When dividing 390 by 87, we get 4 with a remainder of 42.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 1619.034
Subtract 348 from 390 to get 42.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 420, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
87 goes into 420 4 times with a remainder of 72.
Use 4 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1619.0344
If we subtract 348 from 420, we get 72.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 720, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 1619.0344, with a leftover of 0.00072.
